MPhil International Relations
supervisor

I am a second-year MPhil student in International Relations at Pembroke College, Oxford. I am broadly interested in US-China relations, and my current research concerns the Reagan administration's engagement with the PRC in the 1980s. I maintain a secondary research interest in French and British diplomatic history.

At Oxford, I am also a postgraduate member at the Rothermere American Institute (RAI). Prior to beginning the MPhil, I graduated with a BA in International Relations with a minor in French from Tufts University (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa). During the summer, I work as the Instructor of the International Relations and Diplomacy seminar in Putney's Oxford Academia program. I am an alumnus of the School for Ethics and Global Leadership (SEGL) in Washington, DC.
